Competition in health insurance will lower cost right?
Filed Under Individual-Health-Insurance-Quote
Some individuals feel that putting people in control of their own health insurance is the best answer for fixing the problems, we can let these people chose any plan they want from any state then tailor the plan to fit there need. For instance you are young and there has no one in your family has had heart disease you can leave that off. You never get sick put on a high deductible to lower cost even more. These policies will no doubt have abritration clauses where if you do have a problem with them fullfilling there part, you will go in front of an arbitrator who will decide the case. You will be responsible for paying all your own legal costs out of pocket remember they have attorneys on the payroll.
Think the insurance companies are going to compete with each other, you will find all policies within 10% of each other. Why should they offer lower prices. Remember they must meet wall street expectations this means every year they have to increase profits.
Has anyone ever seen drug companies putting ads on t.v. saying there medications are better or cheaper than the competition?
While supply and demand works well in many industries, in health care it does not work.
Bill – ok go shop around for insurance and see how much it costs. quit trying to make health care a commodity based product. Getting health care is not the same as getting a haircut.
it seems the reality I live in is much different than some of you, Bush tried to put a cap on lawsuits, I’m sure most have forgotten insurance companies saying even if it passed they would not lower malpractice insurance premiuims.
To say a publicly held companies motivation is not profit is stupidity, companies make profits which they use to pay back investors in the way of dividends. Profit is the only motivating factor.
doctor and hosptital costs also need to be brought under control.
Hospitals should be non profit. Today many hospitals are owned by investment groups. End of the year the hospital shows a 10 million profit investors divide up the money. Nonprofit the money would be used to hire more people, and purchase new equipment.
jacob – it is so nice to believe Adam Smith’s theory is still alive in at least the mind of some people. although the facts show a much different picture concerning supply and demand in regards to the insurance industry. The Hmo was Nixon’s baby. he signed the bill knowing the end result would be higher cost for the public, and more profit for insurance companies.
